He never had any injury concerns in college either. Just a rough sport. Bears are missing their starting QB, RB, WR2, CB1, NT, #1 Pass Rusher, Starting ILB, C, and #3 Pass Rusher. It's just ridiculous.

 

Yep. It is ridiculous. Although, Langford getting hurt was a good thing IMO as it forced them to play Howard who is a much more talented back.

So much this. I'm hoping Howard runs away with the job over the next couple weeks...

Jesus. We can't catch a break with injuries this year. No pun intended. There were a few key players that we couldn't afford to get injured due to developmental reasons and White was one of them.

Man, I have no idea who the Bears pissed off this year, but they did a good job of it.

Better to piss off the injury gods this year, rather than during a year you planned on contending.

Kevin White to IR, 8 weeks, fractured fibula

It's 2018 in my Madden universe.

 

Kevin White is a stud.

 

Methinks that will not happen IRL.

I like this angle. I'm down with this angle.

White injury prone looking like a wasted pick.

A part of me refuses to go down the same road mentally as I did with DRose. I know they are totally different people but I still feel like I was burned and I dont want to fall into making the same excuses just to see White continue to get hurt time and time again.

 

I am down for the throw away year again if he doesnt have any other major injuries in the next few years but hell two years in football life is a long time to waste. This just sucks huge balls.

Saying he's injury prone is lazy TBH. He overtrained for the combine and caused a stress fracture in his shin. This is an isolated helmet shot to the fibula. Broken bones don't make you injury prone. It's just a violent game. You can chalk them both up to luck in this case. It's not ideal though obviously because he needs as many reps as he can get.

I think that's it though. There are some unlucky dudes out there and he seems to be one of them.

Not even the same planet as the Rose situation. Before Rose's knees broke he was the MVP and had a few very promising seasons, Kevin White just has a high draft pick and 4 games on his chart of accomplishments

Not comparing the two in terms of talent or what they mean to the team, just that they were both young talents that continued to have extremely major injuries back to back (to back with Rose). Its a similar trend and I dont want to make the same excuses or try to paint a positive outlook/narrative with White as I did with Rose because I refuse to get burned on an unlucky guy again.

Russel Westbrook had a couple knee injuries and look at him.

I am totally aware that these injuries do not paralyze White for the rest of his life but he isnt a factor to me until he proves that he is a factor that can be counted on. I dont want to here the phrase "well White is coming back next year so thats a plus" because in my rollodex of the Bears org he hasnt been a part of it and will not be until he lasts a season or two at the very least.

That stress fracture took a LONG time to come back from it seemed. This new injury scares me as well even though it should be straight forward.

And we still don't know if he's any good yet. Plenty of wide receivers have been drafted high in the first round and busted. Not only does he have to prove he can play a full season, but that he will perform at a high level. Just another major question mark in the Bears' future.

This is a way easier injury barring surgery. Broken Fibula usually about a 6 week process. I think we could see him this season again if they deem it worth it to be honest.

We will see jury still out.

Any bears injury should scare you. Has anyone come back ahead of their prognosis? We have to have worst med staff in league (in one of the best medical cities in country)

The Bulls too.

The only reason Logan Paulsen is on the roster is to reach a yearly quota on holding penalties. I can't think of another reason.

Still 0 turnovers from Hoyer since he took over. Not a fan of his arm obviously, but that's a nice welcome.

The Colts are well... Colts-ing this game.
